Am I a snob?

Robert124

First a confession, I am a shopaholic.  I have to visit shops every day.

Yesterday, I visited three budget shops.

  1. Aldi, I found the people there to be crude, vulgar, common people with no manners.
  2. Fulton's, the shoppers and their clothes smell, don't these people bathe ? Or do laundry?
  3. Poundstrecher, the faint smell of old vomit made me feel sick.

I prefer Waitrose and M & S.

  • Perceived snobbism tends to originate from ones own lack of self worth or inner sense of inferiority. Or at least some strands of it seem to.

    For example, an Aspie may spend a disproportionate amount of time displaying their knowledge of their special interest to decoy from their areas of personal challenge and therefore mask vulnerabilities and either self imposed theories of low self worth or the lack of worth projected onto them by others, or society.

    Back to discussing snobbery.  I like to be different and I find it difficult to understand why people try to be the same as others.

    For example I bought myself a yellow suitcase.

    The reasons were not snobbery but practical.  When I went on package holidays, half the people had black suitcases , so I wanted mine to be unique so I could identify it quickly when it was mixed in with others.

    But when I was walking down the street with it I was followed by a gang of youths shouting insults at me and taking the piss out of the colour.  I consider these people to be uncouth and common.

    So, their issue is resentment of your perceived non-conformity? They feel trapped in rigid conformity, but you bend... oops Robert, did no one tell you that wasn’t allowed :(

    You come across as a good man Robert123 but you do seem rather trapped in an environment that does nit appreciate the value of “otherness”, or humanity.

    p.s the case look entirely practical, logical and very smart btw
